I am glad I could solve your puzzle. I am also glad you could interpret what I wrote. For some reason FAA added a few extra characters to my response. :-)

Thank you, Arlene! I've been puzzling in the back of my mind over that hand doe several hours!
Arlene Carmel
Peri, thank you for your kind comments. I was intrigued by the glimpse of the garden just beyond the door. You are very observant. I believe the "hand" is a Hamsa. The name “hamsa” comes from the Hebrew word “hamesh,” which means five. There are many theories as to what it represents. Some believe it represents the five books of the Torah. Sometimes it is called the Hand of Miriam, after Moses’ sister.
